Subject: [GIT PULL] workqueue fixes for v4.6-rc7
Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 17:18:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160513211810.GP7110@mtj.duckdns.org> (raw)
Hello, Linus.
CPU hotplug callbacks can invoke DOWN_FAILED w/o preceding
DOWN_PREPARE which can trigger a WARN_ON() in workqueue. The bug has
been there for a very long time. It only triggers if CPU down fails
at a specific point and I don't think it has adverse effects other
than the warning messages. The fix is very low impact.
Thanks.
